A Hearty Reminder

Hearts can be happy when they remind us of loved ones. Hearts can be sad when they remind us of a special someone who is no longer with us. This quilt was the vision of a widow in memory of her husband, a pilot, who died in a plane crash. It’s all made from the clothes he wore.

In the corners we quilted penguins. They met at the zoo and liked the fact that penguins mate for life and had planned to live together forever. The penguins, the hearts, his clothes in the form of a quilt, become a surrogate to have and to hug as if he was still here. Grieving represents love. Love never dies.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Consider the look of romance as a way to remember events shared with your significant other! Here we used 2 of the same t-shirts earned from running the Peachtree Road Race and shaped them in to hearts as a testament to the couples love and passion for running together over the years. Zoom in to see the quilting —running shoes! Quilting makes it a quilt! This is one of many designs that are available to personalize your masterpiece. There are many different ones with shoes and others such as crossing the finish line with your arms raised. We have over 500 designs and if you don’t see one that resonates with you, we can help to find something that you like.

The quilting goes through all 4 layers of the quilt. It is decorative, and done in the thread color and design that you like It is functional in that it connects all of the layers and keeps them from shifting.

If you’re a runner you may just have a lot of shirts that you’ve earned enjoying your sport. We don’t have a limit on the quantity that you can included. It’s up to you. Take some time to go through them and pick out the ones that you’d like to include in your quilt. You can still wear them, just in a different way, in the quilt!

A t-shirt quilt can also make a nice gift for that special someone. It takes time to make the gift of different.

Slow fashion. I’m liking that obverse to fast fashion!

What’s your vision?
